Wow, I couldn't even tell from the HBO promos that this show was supposed to be a comedy. I thought it was strictly a drama, they just happened to pick out the small bits of humor specifically for those promos. Thanks for the review, Ned.

I've seen this take about SUCCESSION not hitting its stride until mid-season, but I think that's more on the audience than the show. Rewatch the first few episodes now that you know what the show is and you'll see that they are also phenomenal.
